RE: Re:Query letters
Over the course of an admission I have placed as many as 8 queries on a record. I try not to place more than 3 at a time else the physician get overwhelmed and just ignore them.
Regarding reimbursement, queries are placed on records for documentation for
: clinical indicators of a diagnosis but no diagnosis documented
: clinical evidence of a higher/lower specificity or severity level
: a cause and effect relationship between two conditions or organism
: an underlying cause when admitted with symptoms
: POA status
: illegible documentation
: ambiguous, incomplete or conflicting documentation
I do not place queries based on reimbursement.
